Prairie Wood Design Awards 2020 The Prairie Wood Design Awards recognizes Excellence in Wood Design and Construction across the Prairies in eight categories. The Awards program was established in 2000 in Ontario and is currently in its 12th year in Alberta, recognizing our local design and construction professionals for their commitment to sustainable and economic building choices and utilizing Canada’s
This presentation will focus on why it’s important for the design community to consider using more innovative wood technology in their designs. We’ll explore some of the different types of products that are available, as well as show project examples of where these products have been used. Webinar presented by Jerry Calara Technical Advisor Wood WORKS! Alberta. CLICK HERE TO
If you are involved in buildings in any way, as a designer, builder or owner, tune in for a glimpse into structural systems and why wood use is evolving at an unprecedented rate.
Join our upcoming online session with Bert Ponce of MiTek Canada. Friday, May 29 12-1pm MDT
WoodWorks® Design Office is a structural engineering software package developed to simplify and enhance the wood design process. It allows designers to experiment and explore the feasibility of using wood in structural applications following the NBCC 2015 and the CSA O86-14. This workshop will discuss the capabilities of WoodWorks® Sizer, Connections and Shearwalls, and provides a brief overview of the
This webinar will cover two new free online tools developed by the Canadian Wood Council: CodeCHEK and FRR & STC Tool. Register today! CodeCHEK helps designers to determine if and when lightweight wood-frame, heavy timber, mass timber and/or encapsulated mass timber construction can be used, and to determine the applicable construction requirements related to fire safety in Sections 3.1 and
What does it take to efficiently engineer and build mass timber buildings? How can timber be integrated into a project so that the structure is cost-competitive, while still maintaining the architectural vision, elegance and quality? We will explore these questions and also look at the features and key design parameters when using DLT, the all wood mass timber product. Larger
Melissa will discuss the role of the specialty structural engineer in glulam connection design for your project. Tips will be provided to help streamline the work of the project architect and engineer of record, and also highlight specific detailing situations to help construction run more smoothly. Glulam fabrication will be discussed: from chisels to CNC machines. Some examples will be
